+The fix for [perl #118525] introduced a regression in the behaviour of
+\&\f(CW\*(C`B::CV::GV\*(C'\fR, changing the return value from a \f(CW\*(C`B::SPECIAL\*(C'\fR object on
+a \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR \f(CW\*(C`CvGV\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR. \f(CW\*(C`B::CV::GV\*(C'\fR again returns a

+.IP \(bu 4
+Perl 5.18.1 introduced a regression along with a bugfix for lexical subs.
+Some B::SPECIAL results from B::CV::GV became undefs instead. This broke
+Devel::Cover among other libraries. This has been fixed. [perl #119351]
+.IP \(bu 4
+Perl 5.18.0 introduced a regression whereby \f(CW\*(C`[:^ascii:]\*(C'\fR, if used in the same
+character class as other qualifiers, would fail to match characters in the
+Latin\-1 block. This has been fixed. [perl #120799]
+.IP \(bu 4
+Perl 5.18.0 introduced a regression when using \->SUPER::method with AUTOLOAD
+by looking up AUTOLOAD from the current package, rather than the current
+package’s superclass. This has been fixed. [perl #120694]
+.IP \(bu 4
+Perl 5.18.0 introduced a regression whereby \f(CW\*(C`\-bareword\*(C'\fR was no longer
+permitted under the \f(CW\*(C`strict\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`integer\*(C'\fR pragmata when used together. This
+has been fixed. [perl #120288]
+.IP \(bu 4
+Previously PerlIOBase_dup didn't check if pushing the new layer succeeded
+before (optionally) setting the utf8 flag. This could cause
+segfaults-by-nullpointer. This has been fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+A buffer overflow with very long identifiers has been fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+A regression from 5.16 in the handling of padranges led to assertion failures
+if a keyword plugin declined to handle the second ‘my’, but only after creating
+a padop.
+.Sp
+This affected, at least, Devel::CallParser under threaded builds.
+.Sp
+This has been fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+The construct \f(CW\*(C`$r=qr/.../; /$r/p\*(C'\fR is now handled properly, an issue which
+had been worsened by changes 5.18.0. [perl #118213]
+.SH Acknowledgements
+.IX Header "Acknowledgements"
+Perl 5.18.2 represents approximately 3 months of development since Perl
+5.18.1 and contains approximately 980 lines of changes across 39 files from 4
+authors.
+.PP
+Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant
+community of users and developers. The following people are known to have
+contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.18.2:
+.PP
+Craig A. Berry, David Mitchell, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook.
+.PP
+The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
+generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include
+the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to
+the Perl bug tracker.
+.PP
+Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
+included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
+helping Perl to flourish.
+.PP
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see
+the \fIAUTHORS\fR file in the Perl source distribution.
+.SH "Reporting Bugs"
+.IX Header "Reporting Bugs"
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently
+posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at
+http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be information at
+http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
+.PP
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug program
+included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but
+sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of \f(CW\*(C`perl \-V\*(C'\fR,
+will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team.
+.PP
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
+inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it
+to perl5\-security\-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
+unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be
+able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
+co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
+platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
+security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on
+CPAN.
